But seriously, I was returning from a short flight out to Cannon Field, which is on the south side of town, and we had an east-southeast wind. I cruise at just about 70 MPH indicated airspeed so with that tailwind of maybe 10MPH, I could easily catch anybody I wanted to with my shadow (as long as they were headed west or nearly so). And most importantly, one of the canons that all TACOs (Texas Air Camper Organization members) are sworn to uphold is "Decency, honesty, and modesty at all times." I would never fib about my flying adventures, at least not before tying down the airplane and having a couple of pints of brew.

This is a early engine and there are, as far as I know no ,impulse units for these mags. They have a thicker rear case and a cone shaped gear. The timing from the book is 32 degrees for the left mag and 28 for the right. I wonder if I set the timing for the right mag at about 20 degrees and started the engine on just that one it would help. If anyone knows about a impulse for this engine I sure would be interested. Thanks Almost harvest time in Iowa **************Psssst...Have you heard the news?

The Eiseman setup had an impulse. I bought a used A-65 for my Piet and it has an impulse Eiseman and a Bendix without impulse. I haven't started it yet. Probably the best setup is to get the Slick conversion setup (About $1400) that gives you two impulse magnetos, new harnesses, and a new set of plugs. Check Aircraft Spruce. I have that setup on my Baby Ace with an A-75 and it starts on the first blade 90% of the time. Ben Wizzard187@aol.com wrote: > Piet experts, I have a cont. 75-9. on my piet.

Does anyone know what happened to this aircraft? This is the only Pietenpol I have ever seen in person, and it would have been about the same time this picture was taken. Unfortunately Buz passed away before he could finish this aircraft and I always wondered what happened to it.
